Astro and Wonderman Book 4: Awakening Magic

Crush is a strong word you know

(3 years before present time in Astro and Wonderman's journey)

(Darkness's point of view)

Loki and I was walking around town when Pixie and Lex walked up to us.

"Hey, Loki. I'm having a Dragonchild party later tonight. You know to celebrate mine and Lex's birthday" Pixie said.

"And...." Loki said.

"And what. Have you gone completely brain dead in there. Your a Dragonchild right? I want you to come. Besides, don't you think it's time to socialize with other people and start having a little bit of fun again every once in a while" Pixie said.

"What's the point? Most people backstab you anyway" Loki said.

"Oh, yeah! Well you are my brother right? Therefore you have to come. Unless you want to face mine and Astro's raf" Pixie said.

"Yeah. That was scary about a couple of years ago. It's not so scary now" Loki said.

"Fine then you leave me with no choice. I'll have to sneak in your room and read your diary" Pixie laughed.

"What! I don't think so" Loki said getting annoyed.

"Yeah. You didn't tell me we were doing something like that" Lex said blushing a little.

"Oh, come on you know I like to cause trouble and Mayhem sometimes" Pixie said.

"You do realize Trouble and Mayhem is the same thing right?" Loki said.

"True. You know something else that's true. I'm gonna see you at the missionary later" Pixie said.

"Don't count on it" Loki said.

"He means he'll think about it. Let me talk to him for a minute though" I said.

"Ok" Pixie said.

We walked a little ways away from them. "She's your sister. Besides, it's just one night, and she has a point. Talking to a few other people might do you some good" I said.

"I'm not going" Loki said.

"Why? What's so bad about one night?" I asked.

"I'm just not ready to go into the outside world again. I just need a little more time" Loki said.

"Please. For me" I said making cute puppy dog eyes.

"Come on, you know I can't say no to you when you do that" Loki said.

"Great. Then it's a date" I smiled.

"It's a what!!!!" Loki said in utter shock.

"Calm down I was just joking......Unless you wanted me to not be joking" Darkness said.

"It doesn't matter what I want" Loki said.

"Loki, don't say stuff like that" I said getting worried.

"Sorry. I'm still trying to work on thinking more positive" Loki said.

"Yeah. If it will make you feel better why don't I just go with you and we be together for most of the time. That way Pixie isn't as worried about you and your in the outside world but you don't have to socialize much until your ready" I smiled.

Loki sighed and said "Well if it'll get Pixie to stop asking me every five minutes about going to the outside world sure I guess" Loki said.

Then we came back to where Pixie and Lex were and I announced that he would be there.

Then Lex said in a high pitched voice "Yay!" As she hugged Loki really tightly.

"Yeah. I love you too" Loki said looking off in the distance.
